It isn't meant to physically prevent someone from stealing or otherwise using your page. Rather, it is meant to act as a deterrent from such activity, as it is a notice that the contents of the page are yours. Someone can always steal your page, or the contents thereof; by specifying the copyright, you're simply letting them know that they would be doing so under illegal pretexts (even without the copyright, it is illegal technically).
